Black UV-transparent Small VolumeTM Microplates

For a number of years, UV-Star® microplates have been used for UV-spectroscopy,
especially for the determination of nucleic acid or protein concentrations in aqueous
sample solutions. UV-Star® microplates are available in 96 well, 96 well half area,
classical 384 well, and a new 384 well Small VolumeTM format.

The Small VolumeTM microplates feature a film bottom thickness of 140 μm, allowing
reduction in sample volume without loss of signal intensity. Black wells with a
transparent film bottom reduce crosstalk, ideal for fluorescence and transmission
measurements.

The UV-Star® polymer is resistant against polar solvents such as DMSO, has excellent
optical properties with low background in the lower UV, and a refractive index  similar to
glass of 1.53. Exceptional acoustic transmission of the film bottom facilitates use of
UV-Star® microplates in acoustic liquid handling applications.

Applications:

• Fluorescence and transmission measurements
• Determining concentration of DNA and protein solutions
• Compound storage and acoustic liquid handling
• Sample reduction (working volume below 20 μl) similar to
  1536 well without loss in signal
